Our own Neon Brooks on KATU saying what a lot of us are feeling: the risk to our schools in even a moderate seismic event is terrifying. It's our job to get out there and participate to make sure we see this issue addressed in a meaningful way.

The important thing is for as many people as possible to let the PPS Board know that this issue is important to them. The antidote to fear is action! #portlandoregon #pdx #portlandpublicschools #earthquake #cascadiasubductionzone
